We, the inhabitants of the Dhaka city, have little access to well-planned resorts/park and other recreation spots. Among the existing spots where people can hang around, the Lalbagh fort is one of the most enticing places. This historic place can be a wonderful sight-seeing spot to visitors.

People go to the Lalbagh fort to pass some time, to enjoy the moment with family members during the holidays. But, during some government holidays, the fort remains closed. Recently, I went to the fort area with my friends on one of those holidays. And, we found the fort closed. I could not understand the reason for such a closure on a day when visitors are most expected.

I, personally, request the authority concern to ponder over the issue and take some steps so that we can enjoy the scenic beauty of the Lalbagh fort on public holidays.
